    I'm not sure what the significance of having a preshow is if they're fully giving out awards and showing trailers during it.

    According to Keighly it's part press voting part fan voting.

    Is it piles of money, with a few indie nods to make it look more grassrootsy?

    "Nominees for The Game Awards are chosen by an international jury of 69 global media and influencer outlets, selected for their history of critical evaluation of video games."

    I have never seen the voting process for this mentioned anywhere so the fact that there is a public vote somewhere sometime is news to me

    Nominees for The Game Awards are chosen by an international jury of 69 global media and influencer outlets, selected for their history of critical evaluation of video games. The full list of outlets is available here. (weirdly, no functional link is here)

    Each outlet completes a confidential, unranked ballot based on the collective and diverse opinion of its entire editorial staff, listing out its top five choices in each category. These ballots are tabulated, and the five games that appear on the most ballots are put forth as nominees. In the event of a tie, six (or more) nominees will be announced in a category.

    The winners are determined by a blended vote between the voting jury (90%) and public fan votes (10%). Fans can vote for their favorite games on TheGameAwards.com and The Game Awards Discord server in all categories, and also via Twitter DM, Facebook Messenger, as well as using voice on Alexa and Google Assistant in select categories. Fan voting closes on Wednesday, December 5 at Midnight PT.

    This year fans can also “boost” their vote on TheGameAwards.com by sharing their vote to social media. Boosted votes are given an extra 10% weighting within the total fan vote calculation, but the overall weighting of fan votes in the final tally remains 10%. Versus 90% for the voting jury.

    Best esports event is an odd category. It's just going to be the same nominees every year. It's not like there's a ton of big ticket events.

    Reggie should have tore his jacket off to reveal the smash brothers shirt he had on underneath and then shoved the other two off the stage.
